Action Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Action

1.
He who has no taste for order, will be often wrong in his judgment, and seldom considerate or conscientious in his actions.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar

2.
It is no use trying to sum people up. One must follow hints, not exactly what is said, nor yet entirely what is done.
Woolf, Virginia

3.
The road of life can only reveal itself as it is traveled; each turn in the road reveals a surprise. Man's future is hidden.

4.
Our actions are like the terminations of verses, which we rhyme as we please.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

5.
The sure conviction that we could if we wanted to is the reason so many good minds are idle.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

6.
Some will, some don't, so what!
Proverb, American

7.
Nothing else so destroys the power to stand alone as the habit of leaning upon others. If you lean, you will never be strong or original. Stand alone or bury your ambition to be somebody in the world.
Marden, Orison Swett

8.
Our grand business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.
Carlyle, Thomas

9.
You won't skid if you stay in a rut.
Hubbard, Kin

10.
Dreams will get you nowhere, a good kick in the pants will take you a long way.
Graffiti

11.
Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.
Edison, Thomas A.

12.
So many fail because they don't get started -- they don't go. They don't overcome inertia. They don't begin.
Stone, W. Clement

13.
How long will they kill our prophets while we stand aside and look?
Marley, Bob

14.
You don't always win your battles, but it's good to know you fought.
Holmes, Marjorie

15.
Then indecision brings its own delays, And days are lost lamenting o'er lost days. Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute; What you can do, or dream you can, begin it.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

16.
A well begun is half ended.
Plato

17.
Before you can do something you must first be something.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

18.
Better to try something and fail than to try nothing and succeed.

19.
As our case is new, we must think and act anew.
Lincoln, Abraham

20.
Action is the product of the qualities inherent in nature.
Bhagavad Gita

21.
No, Ernest, don't talk about action. It is the last resource of those who know not how to dream.
Wilde, Oscar

22.
Words may show a man's wit but actions his meaning.
Franklin, Benjamin

23.
Allow motion to equal emotion.
Hubbard, Elbert

24.
All the reputedly powerful reactionaries are merely paper tigers. The reason is that they are divorced from the people. Look! Was not Hitler a paper tiger? Was Hitler not overthrown? U.S. imperialism has not yet been overthrown and it has the atomic bomb. I believe it also will be overthrown. It, too, is a paper tiger.
Zedong, Mao

25.
To talk goodness is not good... only to do it is.
Proverb, Chinese

26.
You will never win if you never begin.
Schuller, Robert H.

27.
Dwell not on the past. Use it to illustrate a point, then leave it behind. Nothing really matters except what you do now in this instant of time. From this moment onwards you can be an entirely different person, filled with love and understanding, ready with an outstretched hand, uplifted and positive in every thought and deed.
Caddy, Eileen

28.
Do not wait; the time will never be just right. Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.
Hill, Napoleon

29.
We will not know unless we begin.
Zinn, Howard

30.
No man lives without jostling and being jostled; in all ways he has to elbow himself through the world, giving and receiving offence.
Carlyle, Thomas

31.
A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.
Angelou, Maya

32.
You have to be fast on your feet and adaptive or else a strategy is useless.
Gerstner, Lou

33.
The odds of hitting your target go up dramatically when you aim at it.
Pancoast, Mal

34.
Jump into the middle of things, get your hands dirty, fall flat on your face, and then reach for the stars.
Curcio, Joan L.

35.
A reactionary is a somnambulist walking backwards.
Roosevelt, Franklin D.

36.
There's as much risk in doing nothing as in doing something.
Crow, Trammell

37.
If it were done when 'tis done, then t'were well. It were done quickly.
Shakespeare, William

38.
Oh, I'm not going to do anything to them. The thought that I might will be enough to keep them going.
Bowkett, Chris

Sitting quietly, doing nothing, spring comes and the grass grows by itself.
Saying, Zen

40.
It is better to be the hammer than the anvil.
Proverb, French

We are taught by great actions that the universe is the property of every individual in it.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

Whitehead, Alfred North

Better do a good deed near at home than go far away to burn incense.
Proverb, Chinese

It is the direction and not the magnitude which is to be taken into consideration.
Troward, Thomas

Existence was given us for action. Our worth is determined by the good deed we do, rather than by the fine emotions we feel,
Magnin, Edgar F.

49.
Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action.
Levin, James
